Bizet school campus in Suessen. An innovative planning concept for a future-oriented campus.
The competition entry provides for specialist rooms, classrooms, school administration, a canteen with kitchen and cafeteria as well as rooms for all-day care in three interconnected buildings. The new extension will accommodate the secondary school, community school and the special education and counseling center (SBBZ). The concept convinced the jury and is now being implemented.
Project dataThe message of the concept is clear: the extension radiates openness and transparency, is intended to act as part of the existing building and create a direct link to the local situation. The small-scale nature of the surroundings is picked up on through projections and recesses. This also creates various outdoor spaces.
Flexible and expandable
Teachers and students expect a future-oriented learning landscape that meets space requirements, allows the campus buildings and outdoor facilities to be used without barriers, and also offers future options for additions.
The goal is to give the school complex an identity that accommodates different schools but is perceived as a single entity.

Materiality
The material is characterized by the timber hybrid construction. The façade alternates between glass and wood cladding. The clear material language is continued in the interior design: load-bearing concrete walls remain visible, while timber cladding and warm, graduated pastel shades define the interior appearance. Orientation is provided by the color concept, which recognizably structures the building and the existing structure.
